Meeting with Harvard evolutionary biologist Charles Marshall to discuss the gallery installation of the Floating Sculpture, with a focus on camouflage, the okapi, perception, the copy, and magnetic levitation.

Back at the studio at CAVS, MIT Materials Science technical instructor Mike Tarkanian stops by to check out the mag lev unit and plan for the 3D printing of my small-scale model of the "Sculpture flottante I."
